There’s A Whole Lot Of Shaking Going On In The Teaser For ‘S-VHS’

Just because I wasn’t the biggest fan of last year’s horror anthology V/H/S (you can read my initial review HERE  and Andy’s Blu-ray review HERE) that doesn’t mean I’m not looking forward to its upcoming sequel.  S-VHS continues the found footage aesthetic but under the guidance of a new batch of directors.  The sequel looks to capture the lightning in a bottle success the first film achieved by also premiering at the Sundance Film Festival.  For those of us who can’t attend the screenings this weekend (the first one is this Saturday, January 19), we can at least get a peak at what’s in store with this new trailer.  As you would expect, there is a lot of shaky camera work documenting a variety of subjects such as creepy children and what looks like zombies.  It’s almost hard to decipher much of anything in this quick 00:48 teaser, but it seems to hint at some intense and fast-paced sequences.  S-VHS features segments directed by Gareth Evans (The Raid) & Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre), Eduardo Sanchez (The Blair Witch Project, Lovely Molly) & Gregg Hale, Jason Eisener (Hobo With A Shotgun), Adam Wingard (You’re Next, A Horrible Way To Die) and Simon Barrett (You’re Next, A Horrible Way To Die).

Check out the teaser below.

Inside a darkened house looms a column of TVs littered with VHS tapes, a pagan shrine to forgotten analog gods. The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static—white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.

From the demented minds that brought you last year’s V/H/S comes S-VHS, an all-new anthology of dread, madness, and gore. This follow-up ventures even further down the demented path blazed by its predecessor, discovering new and terrifying territory in the genre. This is modern horror at its most inventive, shrewdly subverting our expectations about viral videos in ways that are just as satisfying as they are sadistic. The result is the rarest of all tapes—a second generation with no loss of quality.
